README

This is a demo app for the article - https://blog.widefix.com/importance-sql-for-rails-experts/

Preffered dependencies versions:

• PostgreSQL 15
• Ruby 3

Configure DB manually by changing config/database.yml or create DB user with the same name as your system username and then do this:

• set DATABASE_URL env var: export DATABASE_URL="postgres://localhost:5432". Change the port 5432 to yours if it's running on another port
• run the benchmark: ./run.sh

My results:
